Peninsula Saltwater Guide Servic- hands down. The captain just bought the boat from his old boss at Alaska Coastal Marine. Been doing it for 20+ years.

I am looking for a little help on a 375 WBY load. I have the Barnes 3rd and 4th editions of reloading manual. 3rd has data for 375 WBY but only for the old X bullets And very limited powders listed. 4th doesn’t have data for 375 WBY. I know the old X bullets developed considerably more...

I don’t profess to be an expert, but 168 TSX out of my 300 wby simply works Great. I rarely shoulder shoot animals but on dangerous game and goats, it is the way to go. When a goat has his head up in a normal, non-feeding position, I draw an imaginary line from the base of the tail to the...

I have a nice mature Shiras bull moose cape. If somebody’s interested I can throw it in the freezer and arrange shipping or pick up. I’m in Casper, Wyoming.

Had a great hunt, but very warm. Beautiful country. I think the early pressure pushed the bison into the deep timber. All sign was older until we pushed into the timber. Freshest sign was 2-3 miles in from the exposed bluffs In the thickest stuff around. Lots of human tracks on every island...

Thanks for the info-the tag is good for both sides of the river, do the buffalo spend much time on the west shore/islands? We have been focusing our research up the Eastern tributary rivers. Misguided idea? Concentrate more on Copper River islands? Also, how are the bear numbers? Anything to...

Floating the Copper River from Copper Center down to Chitnina. We have pack rafts that we are going to carry with us up the smaller rivers that dump into the Copper. That way we can either float back to the raft or float meat out instead of backpacking it out.

A buddy drew the Unit 11 bison tag and he invited me to go with him mid September. To good of adventure to pass up even though I suspect it is for my strong back-weak mind...:). Anybody have any experience hunting this unit early and/or information on past observations of bison early in...

My wife drew an Area 25-1 moose tag and I am looking for a little help. Long story short, I must have fat fingered her application as I thought I applied for her in Area 26. I know next to nothing about area 25. Good thing we looked at her tag last night...and saw that it was for Area 25... I...

Long shot, but I lost the rear cover for a Kolpin gun case somewhere on Buzzard Road or the NW corner of Pathfinder on Highway 220. Lost it on Sunday the 24th of September If found, please contact me via PM. Thanks and have a great season. WyMo

I had Unit 13 Colorado in 2006. Same feelings of euphoria, trepidation, etc. I knew I was going to DIY. Scouted over the summer, had my spotting scope on the billy that I wanted two days before season after looking over hundreds of goats (likely the same ones more than once). I ended up...

All, I wade into this mess with trepidation, but here goes. When New Mexico changed their draw mid-application period, I was furious at them as I just wasted money in a drawing in which I had zero chance of drawing. But I fully support part of the New Mexico law changes, if they would have...

All, Thanks for the prayers and information. I really appreciate Mr. Romero's information and I have made contact with NM Game and Fish and hopefully something positive can be made of a bad situation wherein two deserving individuals can make use of our tags. Merry Christmas and Happy New...

My hunting partner's son was just diagnosed with a brain tumor and the surgery to remove it is scheduled for January 23, 2015. Obviously my hunting partner can't make the hunt, and I do not want to hunt without him. So we are looking to donate our licenses, especially to an organization like...

Very nicely done. The best part of hunting is doing it with your child/children and spouse. Awesome job!

Awesome family picture doing a hunt together that resulted in a great trophy. The hunt will be remembered forever. Great job!

+1 for Wyoming G&F. I am a harsh critic of G&F offices in general, especially for how NM handled their debacle this year. WY did it right; got in front of the problem, owned the problem, and solved the problem: fast and fair. Yes, those that thought that they drew tags are dejected, but...

I had the same experience as Have 2 Hunt. I got lucky when there were no bison on the refuge, I spotted two so far back in the trees that even Tag and Drag hated me. With cows, go for the opener up north and hope to get lucky. Or wait for real cold and snow.

I had not followed this thread until tonight and saw the squabble between Buzz and alphabet (just kidding-I can't remember your handle). Anyway, you were rehashing 2006. I sent a letter to MT G&F in April 2006 stating that their 2004 NR issuance seemed to be centered on a 10% total, then 2005...

Paul, I think we are on the same side. I myself was not clear on a couple issues. The first, is that NM GF did not, could not, and was not in control of the timing. Additionally, my anger is definitely not at resident hunters or frankly, even the fact that I am excluded from applying. My...

Paul, It is nothing personal, I have helped you in the past and will do it again in the future, as I am sure you would. This is about the most fundamental principle of American law. I paid for something that was advertised as X, midway through, after incurring many costs, the rules change and...

I love the references to Twerk. Somehow I feel that NM GF is twerking, and it is just as ridiculous as Miley Cyrus doing so. I like to think of myself as pretty level-headed, see both sides of an argument, and then form an opinion based on fact, not emotion. Like a lot of NRs, I have...

Eeeerrr. All three of us with the same old, same old. Unsuccessful. Always next year... Good luck all.

It is sad that our hunting traditions have changed so radically. I grew up on a small ranch and remember taking my gun and just going, crossing any fence I came to. Nobody seemed to care, as long as you took care of their property. Now most good land is leased out to outfitters or...

Oh yeah, got em all fired up! Maybe I wasn't articulate enough-but one of the main points of the post was that WY G&F is a money whore. I did throw in reciprocity as just a basic fairness issue, but the main point is that WY G&F just wants the NR $. Look at NR sheep and moose, $100 point...

I had to wait a little while after the draw before posting as I probably would have written something I would regret later. I have not drawn an elk tag in 10 years as a resident and I am not putting in for units with sheep odds. The odds are generally around 25%-35% for the units I apply for...

PM me, I can give you local info and glad to do so. WyMo

Outstanding mount and pictures. You definitely earned that one. I am hoping my son draws a sheep tag in Oregon, that is some of the coolest country to hunt in.

G14, You are dead on! Goobermint low bid = Goobermint problems. No state is immune to it, it just seems to be the way of Goobermint. The big dogs who run the show, award the contracts, get the kickbacks, et al will always levy the blame on some poor peon and get the fat bonus. I will never...

When do we get the emails? Any insider info or guesses? I am Jonesing, but I quit checking the credit card charges as they did the same thing to me a few years ago, that happened to some of this year's deer hunters. The administrative morons (not the bios or grunts) at G&F offices do not...

Has to be any day now for moose, goat, and sheep. Anybody have an insider info or good guess? Can't wait to come home to hunt! WyMo

Last year I drew #49 Ressy. Awesome hunt, but it took me a while to do it. It is harder than you think unless you get lucky and get one down on the refuge flats. Successful drawers can PM me and I will try and help you out. I would highly suggest that you sock away some money for one of the...

Any bets if they goof it up worse than last year? I am betting a server crash. Just kiddin, all my respect for the G&F! Except for deer management! WyMo

Crud, NM owes me all but the application fees. I hate getting money back. Nice spot on the backdoor results. WyMo

Tailchaser, You could not be more right. I quit buying from them about 6 years ago. I don't mind paying for quality, but I sure hate paying quality prices for inferior gear. WyMo

I make sure that elk are always in the mix and since I am blessed to live in a state with general elk tags, I know that no matter what, I will be hunting every year. I used to focus on just me, and now with my son being hunting age (state imposed, he was ready three years ago), I focus on him...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-25-12 AT 11:45AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Feb-25-12 AT 11:41?AM (MST) Drawing a great tag comes with a lot of luck, but it also necessitates a plan, and perseverance. I read and commented on this topic in the past on MM, but thought it would be good for others to post their...

I felt the same way when I was about your age (about yesterday I think that was). I grew up without much money but a father that made sure we could hunt every year. I blame him for setting the stage. When I got rich (for a college student) fishing in Alaska (can't do that anymore), and...

Outstanding trophy. I think Barbary sheep are one of my new favorites, just because of how hard it is to get one. Nicely done. WyMo
